Bioreactors and fermentors— powerful tools for resolving cultivation bottlenecks
29 Jan 2020In this white paper, Eppendorf explains the key characteristics of stirred-tank bioreactors and which organisms are typically grown in them. Using specific examples, they demonstrate how bioreactors and fermentors can help to resolve cultivation bottlenecks.

Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.BioreactorBioprocessingBioprocessing is the use of biological systems for the conversion of raw materials to desired products. This includes the research, development and manufacturing stages of production and can refer to food processing, small-molecule pharmaceutical manufacture, production of recombinant protein therapeutics, or the generation of renewable energy.
